[U-Boot] [PATCH v4 1/2] cmd: nvedit: env import can now import only variables passed as parameters

While the `env export` can take as parameters variables to be exported, `env import` does not have such a mechanism of variable selection.
Let's add the ability to add parameters at the end of the command for variables to be imported.
Every env variable from the env to be imported passed by parameter to this command will override the value of the variable in the current env.
If a variable exists in the current env but not in the imported env, if this variable is passed as a parameter to env import, the variable will be unset.
If a variable exists in the imported env, the variable in the current env will be set to the value of the one from the imported env.
All the remaining variables are left untouched.
As the size parameter of env import is positional but optional, let's add the possibility to use the sentinel '-' for when we don't want to give the size parameter (when the env is '\0' terminated) but we pass a list of variables at the end of the command.
env import addr env import addr - env import addr size env import addr - foo1 foo2 env import addr size foo1 foo2
are all valid.
env import -c addr env import -c addr - env import -c addr - foo1 foo2
are all invalid because they don't pass the size parameter required for checking, while the following are valid.
env import addr size env import addr size foo1 foo2
Nothing's changed for the other parameters or the overall behaviour.
One of its use case could be to load a secure environment from the signed U-Boot binary and load only a handful of variables from an other, unsecure, environment without completely losing control of U-Boot.

v4: - add tested-by by Alex,
v3: - migrate to env import addr size var... instead of env import -w addr size so that the list of variables to load is more explicit and the behaviour of env import is closer to the one of env export,
v2: - use strdup instead of malloc + strcpy, - NULL-check the result of strdup, - add common exit path for freeing memory in one unique place, - store token pointer from strtok within the char** array instead of strdup-ing token within elements of array,

This tests that the importing of an environment with a specified whitelist works as intended.
If there are variables passed as parameter to the env import command, those only should be imported in the current environment.
For each variable passed as parameter, if - foo is bar in current env and bar2 in exported env, after importing exported env, foo shall be bar2, - foo does not exist in current env and foo is bar2 in exported env, after importing exported env, foo shall be bar2, - foo is bar in current env and does not exist in exported env (but is passed as parameter), after importing exported env, foo shall be empty,
Any variable not passed as parameter should be left untouched.
Two other tests are made to test that size cannot be '-' if the checksum protection is enabled.

Indeed. There are a lot of tests to be added to the sandbox for environment handling. In this patch I focused on what I actually changed rather than the environment handling as a whole.
That was the idea behind it. Let's get the feature merged with its tests and then work separately on other tests in sandbox.
Thanks, Quentin

Most likely the failure is due to the test relying on some feature that isn't enabled on the board being tested (emulated via qemu); you'll need to add something like the following to indicate which feature the test relies upon:
@pytest.mark.buildconfigspec('cmd_echo')
All the test commands are in .travis.yml in the top-level of the U-Boot source tree. You can see the exact error at the very end of the log that Tom linked to.

It's possible you've exposed a latent bug here. What stood out to me at the time was that it looked like we were using 0x0 for the address and that's quite possibly an invalid location to be using on these platforms.
Before doing this test (which takes hours), my guess is that either `env export` is not working for the given configs, or there is something broken in the test framework (is the RAM address I get with u_boot_utils.find_ram_base() actually valid?).
Note that when debugging these kind of issues (and it's too much of a hassle to recreate their environment locally via docker) it's quite normal to start by hacking out all of the other jobs from .travis.yml so it only runs what you care about. Thanks!

Yes, looked weird to me as well but can't tell if that's a legit RAM address. Stephen says other tests interacting with RAM works on those configs so that should be working.
So, I tested without my patches for whitelisting and it does not work for the same configs:
https://travis-ci.org/QSchulz/u-boot/jobs/396898590 https://travis-ci.org/QSchulz/u-boot/jobs/396898597 https://travis-ci.org/QSchulz/u-boot/jobs/396898598 https://travis-ci.org/QSchulz/u-boot/jobs/396898599
I'm not introducing a regression with my patch. Do we know if env import and export is actually supported by those configs? How could we fix those? Let me know if I can help.
On another subject, I'm worried by these failing jobs: https://travis-ci.org/QSchulz/u-boot/jobs/396898591 https://travis-ci.org/QSchulz/u-boot/jobs/396898592
Does this mean that we don't have a clean environnement for each and every test? (env import complains when I'm trying to import an environnement with ethXaddr in it, so I forcibly removed them from the environnement before exporting).
Before doing this test (which takes hours), my guess is that either `env export` is not working for the given configs, or there is something broken in the test framework (is the RAM address I get with u_boot_utils.find_ram_base() actually valid?).
Note that when debugging these kind of issues (and it's too much of a hassle to recreate their environment locally via docker) it's quite normal to start by hacking out all of the other jobs from .travis.yml so it only runs what you care about. Thanks!
Good point, I'll see how I can tweak the Travis YAML to do only the tests we want.

This seems to not be working?
I just rebased on top of v2018.07-rc1, ran make mrproper ./test/py/test.py --bd sandbox --build
and the tests run fine ...
Most likely the failure is due to the test relying on some feature that isn't enabled on the board being tested (emulated via qemu); you'll need to add something like the following to indicate which feature the test relies upon:
@pytest.mark.buildconfigspec('cmd_echo')
OK, I've added the dependency on cmd_importenv and cmd_exportenv, but that does not make it work any better.
I added my U-Boot repo to Travis and ran the tests. Here is the output of the job: https://travis-ci.org/QSchulz/u-boot/
Specifically, you have: https://travis-ci.org/QSchulz/u-boot/jobs/396742661 https://travis-ci.org/QSchulz/u-boot/jobs/396742668 https://travis-ci.org/QSchulz/u-boot/jobs/396742669 https://travis-ci.org/QSchulz/u-boot/jobs/396742670 https://travis-ci.org/QSchulz/u-boot/jobs/396742671
I've dumped the RAM after the `env export` and it looks pretty much empty compared to what I could see with sandbox tests.
Since all the other tests work, I'm not sure I actually introduced a regression or if it just never worked. I'll run tests without my patches that do a `env export` followed by a dump of the memory, a reset of the environement and a `env import` to see where we stand right now.
It's possible you've exposed a latent bug here. What stood out to me at the time was that it looked like we were using 0x0 for the address and that's quite possibly an invalid location to be using on these platforms.

The bug is in the implementation of hexport_r(); if the provided destination pointer is NULL, it allocates a new buffer to write to and returns that instead of writing to address 0.
I wonder if some related issue is why test_net adds 4MB to the value returned by find_ram_base(); to avoid the NULL pointer.
I'd suggest the following:
1) Enhance find_ram_base() so that if it would return 0, it actually returns something else. Adding 2MiB should be safe I think, and return a value that's still nicely aligned to any reasonable requirement. (2MiB being an ARM LPAE/v8 section size, which makes 2MiB more interesting than just 1MiB).
2) Once that's done, perhaps revert the addition of 4MiB in test_net.
3) In the first log you linked above:
https://travis-ci.org/QSchulz/u-boot/jobs/396898590
I see:
Integrator-CP # Integrator-CP # env import 00000000 ## Warning: defaulting to text format ## Warning: Input data exceeds 1048576 bytes - truncated ## Info: input data size = 1048578 = 0x100002 Environment import failed: errno = 12
This means "env import" failed, but test/py failed to detect it. Let's update the implementation of do_env_export so that its error message is formatted like other error messages so that test/py's pattern-based error message detection detects it:
u_boot_console_base.py: pattern_error_notification = re.compile('## Error: ')
Or, update test_env.py to validate that 'Environment import failed' isn't in the output of the "env export" command.
After that, hopefully your new test will work on these platforms.

Does this mean that we don't have a clean environnement for each and every test? (env import complains when I'm trying to import an environnement with ethXaddr in it, so I forcibly removed them from the environnement before exporting).
Right, tests are run serially and don't reset the board for each, iirc.
Is there a reason behind this behaviour?
We should fix this somewhere in the future, the tests are basically meaningless otherwise. If we don't start from scratch for each and every test (I'm not even talking about test series (e.g. all env tests) but each test that is called), we basically test that this test works when all the other tests before have behaved as they did. At best, you get false positives, at worst you don't catch bugs.

https://travis-ci.org/QSchulz/u-boot/jobs/396898590 https://travis-ci.org/QSchulz/u-boot/jobs/396898597 https://travis-ci.org/QSchulz/u-boot/jobs/396898598 https://travis-ci.org/QSchulz/u-boot/jobs/396898599
I'm not introducing a regression with my patch. Do we know if env import and export is actually supported by those configs? How could we fix those? Let me know if I can help.
Maybe the tests need to depend on something else too then, that's not enabled on these platforms?
On another subject, I'm worried by these failing jobs: https://travis-ci.org/QSchulz/u-boot/jobs/396898591 https://travis-ci.org/QSchulz/u-boot/jobs/396898592
Does this mean that we don't have a clean environnement for each and every test? (env import complains when I'm trying to import an environnement with ethXaddr in it, so I forcibly removed them from the environnement before exporting).
Right, tests are run serially and don't reset the board for each, iirc.
Is there a reason behind this behaviour?
We should fix this somewhere in the future, the tests are basically meaningless otherwise. If we don't start from scratch for each and every test (I'm not even talking about test series (e.g. all env tests) but each test that is called), we basically test that this test works when all the other tests before have behaved as they did. At best, you get false positives, at worst you don't catch bugs.
This is deliberate for a couple of reasons:
1) In order to catch general stability problems such as memory corruption, we do as much as possible in a single "instance" (boot) of U-Boot, so that any such problem has a maximal chance of negatively affecting future tests. Yes, this can cause false positives as you describe, but in my experience that has happened rarely in practice; I vaguely recall one instance of a test working when run after another test (something in DFU on one of the targets I use?) and one instance of a test failing only when run after another test (some unit test in sandbox IIRC), so it balanced out nicely.
2) It's quicker not to reboot the system for each test, which reduces test time, which allows for more testing (more test cases).

This seems to not be working?
I just rebased on top of v2018.07-rc1, ran make mrproper ./test/py/test.py --bd sandbox --build
and the tests run fine ...
Most likely the failure is due to the test relying on some feature that isn't enabled on the board being tested (emulated via qemu); you'll need to add something like the following to indicate which feature the test relies upon:
@pytest.mark.buildconfigspec('cmd_echo')
OK, I've added the dependency on cmd_importenv and cmd_exportenv, but that does not make it work any better.
I added my U-Boot repo to Travis and ran the tests. Here is the output of the job: https://travis-ci.org/QSchulz/u-boot/
Specifically, you have: https://travis-ci.org/QSchulz/u-boot/jobs/396742661 https://travis-ci.org/QSchulz/u-boot/jobs/396742668 https://travis-ci.org/QSchulz/u-boot/jobs/396742669 https://travis-ci.org/QSchulz/u-boot/jobs/396742670 https://travis-ci.org/QSchulz/u-boot/jobs/396742671
I've dumped the RAM after the `env export` and it looks pretty much empty compared to what I could see with sandbox tests.
Since all the other tests work, I'm not sure I actually introduced a regression or if it just never worked. I'll run tests without my patches that do a `env export` followed by a dump of the memory, a reset of the environement and a `env import` to see where we stand right now.
Before doing this test (which takes hours), my guess is that either `env export` is not working for the given configs, or there is something broken in the test framework (is the RAM address I get with u_boot_utils.find_ram_base() actually valid?).
I checked the qemu-x86 job from Tom's original failure:
https://travis-ci.org/trini/u-boot/jobs/391504523
At least two tests use find_ram_base(); test_net (uses a 4MB offset from the base) and test_md (uses the base as-is). Both these tests write data to the specified address, then check either the actual value, or a CRC32 of a range of addresses, and both pass. This implies to me that find_ram_base() is returning the correct value, and the memory at that location works fine.
This doesn't rule out some problem in find_ram_base() on the other failing platforms of course; I didn't check those.

I just rebased on top of v2018.07-rc1, ran make mrproper ./test/py/test.py --bd sandbox --build
and the tests run fine until one error in some tests *after* the env test suite has passed. See log: http://code.bulix.org/iojwnp-358559
It's dirty because I had to remove NO_SDL to make sandbox to compile $ git diff diff --git a/include/configs/sandbox.h b/include/configs/sandbox.h index 1a49d1dab5..a76fc384c2 100644 --- a/include/configs/sandbox.h +++ b/include/configs/sandbox.h @@ -74,10 +74,6 @@ #define CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP #define CONFIG_IP_DEFRAG

Can I have more info on how to reproduce this error please?
So, sandbox is clean and doesn't fail. Looking at the job itself, https://travis-ci.org/trini/u-boot/builds/391504460, in addition to failing on xtensa, it fails on integratorcp_cm926ejs, qemu-x86, qemu-ppce500 and zynq_zc702. Of those, qemu-x86 is probably the easiest to reproduce locally for you.
